UPDATE: I finally DID get paid in BTC last night.
I found that Facebook was the best way to message him. We communicated several times but he did eventually credit me for the iPhone I sent him. I would like to warn future risk-takers like me of the pros and cons. See below:
Pros: -Did receive a package ASAP, as stated (and it included a self-addressed return label to send my phone to them) -Did respond to Facebook account almost immediately -Did get paid in BTC -Website had current order status information -Not a scam
Cons: -Very difficult time communicating -Didn't respond to my messages via Traade.co or BitcoinTalk (only Facebook) -Took very long to eventually get paid (2+ weeks) -Felt like a scam because of the things mentioned above
Recommendation: I would give him a little more time to get some "wins" (read: positive reviews) under his belt. I think it's a cool service, but it needs time to mature. I took a risk and knew I might not get paid in BTC. Fortunately, I did, but it was not without a lot of stress and effort, and I had to make several different attempts to contact him. In fact, for the most part, I thought I got ripped off. I'm happily surprised that I did get paid.
